What's a stupid thing you've done that you still think WTF did I do that for?

Me

I wanted to kill the weeds between the slabs up to the front door.

No fucker one told me that they were going to crumble and dissolve if I used neat bleach.

What an idiot. 😢

Have you anything stupid to make me laugh on this cold evening 😃?!

Ps. Don't use bleach on certain slabs. certainly not neat

Shortly after Russia unofficially took over Ukraine, a Ukrainian friend had a family member to visit. Why I decided to be inclusive and welcoming by saying hello in Russian I do not know. He turned away with a look of disgust and never spoke to me again. Still cringing now.

Guys, some of you are saddists😭😭

@JustCheesz

I once stood on the end of rake to see if it really does come up and hit you in the face.

It does.

I can concur that it really does.

Not sure who was more shocked when I cockily decided to test this out in the back garden, me as it whacked me in the face and I hit the deck or my mum who was watching my fifteen year old self while she washed the dishes stood in front of the kitchen window

@Soubriquet

Teenage me thought it would be really clever and swipe my thumb across a razor when I was shaving my legs to clear the hair....

It bled like mad. And for a long time. Was left with 3 lovely gouges across my thumb

I do this all the time... its never bled or even hurt through but it does leave papercut like slice/flaps.

I have yet to find another way that actual works to unclog it though.

Delivering training to the entire staff, I took the stage after my boss and put my laptop down next to his. Couldn't figure out why I was changing the slides but the big screen wasn't changing - he says very nicely 'That's the wrong laptop'. I had to use his, not mine, as his was the one connected to the projector!!

Leaned across a worktop to look into a toaster to see how my toast was coming along. Simultaneously got scorched with the heat and walloped by it popping out.

And this morning i put my blueberries and strawberries into my coffee instead of on my All Bran. Which in fairness was sitting in its bowl right next to the coffee...

@Quillark

I'm currently in bed, I've literally just pulled the covers up a bit except they were stuck somewhere so I've ended up punching myself in the mouth and bust my own lip ffs 😂

I'm always whacking myself in the face when I'm struggling with the duvet, likewise when I'm struggling into a sports bra.

I've slammed my stiff window shut onto my index finger. Had a black fingernail for ages after that.

Was convinced once that my contact lens was still in my eye (it wasn't) and kept pressing on my eyeball tryong to pop it out. Ended up with a red mark on my eye white.

Decided to wash down kitchen tiles with water and brillo pads. A rather large flame shot out of a socket a long with an enormous bang, burned my hair. Entry through my thumb in a rubber glove which melted and I managed to cut the electricity to the full block of flats (6) went into shock and vomited. Exdh took me to hospital, doctor said if I hadn't been wearing exdh trainers I would've died....

This has really made me laugh, and reminded me of when I opened a new pack of ground coffee and blearily poured all of it into the cafetiere. When the kettle boiled, I knew something was wrong, but I couldn't figure out what. I just stood there thinking 'Where am I meant to put this water?'

@Aposterhasnoname

When we were kids we found a huge plastic barrel in a field. It was enormous and us four 9-10 year old kids all fitted into it easily. So we did what any self respecting kid of that age would do and dragged it to the top of a huge hill climbed inside and rolled down. It went a hell of a lot faster than we expected and only stopped when it smacked into wall. My sister broke her nose, and we thought my friend was dead as she was knocked unconscious. Oh, and did I mention the vomiting on the way down, and spinning round covered in it like we were in a giant washing machine.

I've spent all morning giggling at this, except for the injuries obviously it was the

Dam pressed post accidentally!! It's thought of you all rolling down the hill in a barrel of flying vomit 🤣🤣

I somehow managed to shut my leg in the car door? Also managed to shut my head in the car door too. When I was younger I was helping my grandparents with the gardening after school, I was using the garden fork.. I remember my grandad telling me to go careful and not to put it though my foot, so what did I do? Put it straight through my toe. Also damaged the ligaments, tendons and muscle in my ankle on a trampoline and was in crutches for the best part of a year in secondary school.

Attached photos of leg in car door incident

I've taken two forks instead of a knife and fork so many times, and sat in confusion swapping them around between hands, wondering what's gone wrong.

🤪😂

Last Monday on seeing how snowy and icy it was by looking out the window, I decided to go out and see how slippery it was before i left for work

Took 1 step outside our block and fell straight over and whacked my knee pretty hard, the irony of it

Went straight back inside to see my knee was egg shaped and very sore and ending up WFH for 2 days instead

@AIMD

Stood on a stool to lift Christmas presets (freshly wrapped) onto the top of my wardrobe. As I stood on it the stool wobbled so I stepped off. Despite that, and knowing it is a really wobbly stool, I again stood on it and then flipped of it and broke my wrist.

Why didn’t I just use another stool. I literally stepped off and back on again because it had wobbled!

Hysterical. I’ll be telling this story 😆

@fightingflies i did this many years ago.

I was working on a deli counter many moons ago and was cleaning the cooked meat slicer machine at the end of the day, you know the ones where it is a big whirring blade. For some reason, my brain said "turn it on, it will be much quicker to clean that way" as I was wiping down the blade. Well it definitely quickly sliced longways about an inch into my finger. Still have the scar

@RedcurrantPuff I did this to my brother, locked him in the shed and threw away the key! I was so evil back then, I’m claustrophobic too so I don’t know why I did that! My dad had to come and unscrew the whole door, surprised I didn’t get a smack for that!

Poured cream into a jug to serve with dessert at a dinner party and promptly poured it over my head! Apparently caused by medication I was taking at the time. I have never been allowed to forget it.

Saying I do, won't be doing that again.

Had a go of dc scooter... it went a bit faster than I expected and there was a kerb coming up. Decided to jump off to avoid the kerb... faceplanted the floor, black eye, took skin off both palms and knee out of my jeans. All on a main road to the Amusement of passing cars. Dh said to ds as I got on said scooter ‘this should be good’ bastard 😂

I once put the microwave on with nothing in it to ‘pre-heat’ it before I put the food in. It exploded. In my defence I was about 18, drunk and stupid. Haven’t done it again!

I've drained my carefully made stock straight into a sieve and down the sink before. Carefully keeping the bones that were meant for the bin.

Yesterday I discovered the butter in the bread bin, the bread in the coffee cupboard and the coffee jar in the fridge.
